Outline of Final Research Achievements

For understanding of riverine environment and fostering global awareness, teaching materials using diatom specimens which were collected at the same site of rivers in past and present times. We implemented lessons using originally developed lesson plan at secondary schools in Japan, America and India and assessed the effectiveness of the lessons.
From the comparison of the pre-post surveys, almost all groups in Japan, America, and India showed improvement in their motivation for learning about the relationship between rivers and environmental disturbances and foreign natural environments. Furthermore, in text mining analysis of described answers, it was shown that in the trilingual groups in India, i.e. English, Marathi and Kannada, both pre- and post-consciousness had changed from those related to their own lives and organisms to those related to environmental improvement and foreign countries.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

環境保全の意義の本質を理解するためには、人間がどんなことをしたら、環境がどのように変化するかを理解することが必要である。ところが環境変化を実験的に行うことは通常難しい。本研究では、水質指標生物である珪藻の過去と現在の標本を使用し、さらに、その珪藻が出現する理由を知るための環境シミュレーションを複合させて授業を行うことで、学習者に環境学習の意欲を向上させ、環境に対する意識を向上させることができた。授業は日本、米国、インドで実施したが、今日水質汚染が著しいインドでは、日本の過去と現在の河川環境を知ることで、環境問題を改善しようという意欲の向上が見られ、日米では国際協力への意識の芽生えが生じた。
